Hello,
I want to redirect all non-file & directory requests to subdomain with www prefix if the requested hosts doesn’t have www in place.
I’m unable to figure out why apache will only redirect subpages, but it wont redirect my main index to www prefix.
This case wont work:
mydomain.com -> should resolve to mydomain.com
mydomain.com/subpage -> will resolve normally to www.mydomain.com/subpage
Heres my .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#When your application folder isn't in the system folder
#This snippet prevents user access to the application folder
#Submitted by: Fabdrol
#Rename 'application' to your applications folder name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}" [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
The important lines:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}" [L,R=301]
Does anyone has any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for help
